this is simple its used to describe the star sizes through a process that is complicated and people see this through the life cycle of a star as the minerals inside the star change over time
A process called gravitational collapse is used by solar radii to describe the sizes of stars including the subgroups of white dwarfs giants and super giants.Solar radii be used to describe the sizes of stars including the subgroups of white dwarfs giants and super giants through a process called gravitational collapse.
A star's radius is the distance from it centre to its visible surface. The bigger the star, the larger the radius. The radius is not the best means of comparing stars, it is perhaps better to compare stars by their mass.
It would be impossible to list the sizes of all known stars. But for a great brief presentation of the range of star sizes, go to the link below. Stars can range in size from newtron stars, roughly 20 to 40 km in diameter, to the largest know star in Canis Major. It is VY CMa, with a size of about 2,100 solar radii (a radius 2100 times the length of our sun's radius). That's a lotta gas.

Typically,giant stars have radii between 10 and 100 solar radii and luminosities between 10 and 1,000 times that of the Sun.Whereas Supergiants have a radii between 30 and 1,000 solar radii and luminosities between 30,000 and 100,000 times that of the Sun
There is only one star in our solar system; it is called The Sun.

The biggest star that we know of is called: VY Canis Majoris at 2,100 times the size of our Sun. And the smallest star that we know of is called: OGLE-TR-122b at 0.12 solar radii (that's 167,000 km).
VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star with a radius equal to 2600 solar radii. It would take over 7,000,000,000,000,000 (7 quadrillion) Earths to fill the volume of VY Canis Majoris
Yes. There are no stars in the Solar System besides the Sun but there are over billions of stars out of our Solar System.
